Summary
Mark Koernke and Don discussed current political issues, including comparisons between U.S. political dynasties and foreign regimes, PETA's selective outrage over animal cruelty versus human rights abuses in Syria, and the Trayvon Martin case. The show shifted to extensive practical self-defense instruction covering situational awareness, defensive positioning, weapon selection (including improvised weapons like carabiners, pens, flashlights, and box cutters), and tactical responses to violent assault. They also covered ammunition availability and pricing for AK-74 platforms, SKS rifle deals, and night vision technology, concluding with Don's discussion of valuable antique medical and ministerial texts found in discarded collections.

Live 365 In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press. And you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm. and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children and people. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great Republic in each God-given right. And pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke he'd vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God-given rite, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? is to still the land of the free. And good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is the evening intelligence report of our kirky. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories west, southwest, east, and northeast. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com, we're on AM and FM microstations, CB base stations, and UltraNet Technologies east and west of the Mississippi, along with Alaska. We're on the Hallmark Network from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida. of Florida across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico, headed Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, big chunk of Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both the Pitt, the 3rd, the 5th, and our friends in Colorado, the Civil War state. Waving to the left coast, we turn back to the east sweep across the plains, leap over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi, and land in the Smokies slash the Blue Ridge. We're the restaurant crews, grandma teams, okay teams, the Ma Bell Grandma Consortium of Retired Telecommunications Workers up there in Cleveland, Ohio, doing their part to help us to expand the Golden Spike Project. Well, it's medium temperatures, muggy, humidity is up, feels more like a mid-summer day out there than anything, been warm and a little wet. and continue to stay that way. Expect it to continue to be this temperature range for the rest of the week. Of course when it does drop it's going to drop like a rock down into the snow range. That's not an if, that's just a when. Yes, no, we got Don with us here. I'm not looking forward to the snow. I just painted two or three more snow shovels yesterday. I've got all this extra cans of paint that are a little bit of this, a little bit of that. So everything gets a new coat of paint this year, no matter what. Every day I do a couple more and they just do them quick and they're just sitting there drying while I'm doing something else. Then give them another coat until what's left in the can is used up because it's a little bit of this, a little bit of that. Anyway, Tom, it's been muggy. It's Monday, of course. What's the day today, sir? I was jumping off the wall up there in your neck of the woods. Well, it is the ninth day of the ninth month of the year of our Lord, 2013. And a muggy, though beautiful day at word today. And I sometimes strive to practice proper English, but you know, that's old Irish, you know, a muggy and beautiful day at word today. So, with all due respect, I, you know, give that connotation its origin. And again, hey, 9-9-13, beautiful day. It's going to rain some more and work on that roof. At any rate, a number of different directions. Let's do this here because many times we'll ask you to compare an inch to a mile. And you've heard that a number of times throughout today in particular. You'll hear it sometimes once a week, sometimes 20 or 40 times throughout the week. But again, comparing an inch to a mile gives you that reference, that yardstick, that Truly that measure of how big or how small, how infinitesimal or how unimportant. Now, I want you to ponder on this for a moment, Mark, because you're going to find this can come from the major, this like comes from a comedy university. You know, there's a place in Chicago you can go to and figure Chicago. You can go and learn to be a comedian. At any rate, it's not clown college. I did say that on purpose, but a couple of clowns have come out of Chicago as of late. But I digress, I'm going in the wrong direction here. Mark, about 40 or 60 miles north and about the same amount east of me, last year some guy got mad at some other guy because his dog growled at him or looked at him goofy and he killed the dog. Now this was a brindle type of American bulldog, you know, the great big pit bulls. The dog might have been 110 pounds. You know, pit bulls are like 45, 55 pounds. When you start looking at a dog that looks like a pit bull, but the males could be as big as 130, 140 pounds, those are what are known as American bulldogs. They came from the English bulldog a long, long time ago. Not the English bulldog that we know today was bred from what is now called the American bulldog. But you can look at old paintings, even back to the time of Shakespeare, and see that dog. hasn't changed much over the years because the owners knew the value of that dog and protected their females from breeding with other dogs. So that breed has been established for four or five hundred years back to Shakespeare time. Now, again, about 60 miles north and east from me last year, some guy shot this guy's dog because the dog growled at him and made like he was going to bite him and he didn't like that so he killed the dog while the guy wasn't there. Now he also took the body away and decapitated the dog and was gonna have it the skull dressed down to be a Just to go in your curio cabinet like cabinet like you would do a deer skull and hang on the wall Some call those English mounts some call them Indian mounts But oh as a sidebar if you ever see a brown bear or a grizzly bear skull like that It is one of the mo it looks like something from a Terminator movie. It just looks so Incredibly threatening that it's just God made something like that and put flesh around it and oh Lord It just makes you wouldn't want to have your arm in there or your leg or your skull at any rate they were going to this guy he was going to make a gift of this skull back to the owner of the dog and and The owner didn't like it very much and called the police and well they came out and arrested two people Because there was somebody else involved with taking the dog's head off and both of those people were convicted today mark But you know what and this is this here comes from the clown college part you guys there is an international Outcry from PETA about how this dog was treated They just can't believe that someone would take this dog and shoot it and cut its head off and gonna make a mount out of it and give it back to the owner and how cruel and inhumane that is. But I wonder if these same people are looking at Syria or Iran or Iraq perhaps where those films of people being gassed came from. And I wonder if they're giving that protest or that definition of you can't do that to those people. I wonder if they're moving in that direction at all. Rather than moaning and groaning about a dog. No, I've owned American Bulldogs. They have a place near and dear in my heart. They're just tremendously loyal dogs. You think that Lassie is a fine dog. Lassie is a fine dog. That can't be denied. But every American Bulldog I've owned would make Lassie look like a... unconcerned passerby. Let's leave it at that. But again, I'm digressing a little bit because the people, again, an international outcry on this very subject mark that dog lost its head because some American decided to cut its head off and boil the flesh off of it until it's why it's just a skull with all those big, big teeth and... well... I wonder if, again, I pose that question again. I wonder if these same people are exhibiting, are showing, are mentioning any concern at all for the deployment of gas into Syria against civilians. Or let's take the fraudulent line on that. Maybe that wasn't in Syria. Maybe it was in Iraq or Iran. But I wonder if those people are making any protest in that direction. but they're happy to run to defend that poor dog. And I'm not defending the people who shot the dog or took the dog's head. Not at all. Don't get me wrong. If I had my way, I'd... treating him like Homer treats Bart for a little while, you know, hands around the throat and why you and you did that to this guy's dog and you know, maybe they'd pass out and then you you wake them up a little bit and then you make them pass out again and then you went and you wake them up a little bit and then you make them pass out a little more and you do that until you hope you haven't invoked any brain damage because they've already exhibited enough brain damage as it is and I'm being a little mean there, but you know, well I did that for the PETA people. No, I didn't. I did that because I love Bulldogs. But the PETA people around the world aren't, I wonder if any of them is a card carrying member of the Don't Gas Humanity. Or what was that, what was that special underground group I tried to organize last year, was it SPAM? And I don't even remember what that was supposed to, What the acronym stood for, I have it in my notes here somewhere, perhaps someone might remember that. It was a special thing for mankind against whatever. But apparent, these people belong to PETA and nothing else. We don't hear an outcry about gassing people, whether it is in Syria or as rumored while those pictures came from Iraq or Iran. Mark, I yield the floor to you, sir. Well, the interesting thing is, I don't think it was being kind or showing any warm fuzziness by mounting the head and mounting the skull and giving it back to the owner, do you? No, it was a thumb your nose at the very least. So that stupidity is why there was any kind of conflict and persecution, so to speak. Well, all he was doing was just mounting the skull, not because the owner wanted it. Right. Think about that. So and again, I guess the other issue there is if he shot it because he felt threatened by it, why did he chop the dog up? Of course, I understand some of the ways people like to, you know, try to use their animals like that too. So we don't know the politics behind the scenes, but you know, there again, it's one of those things to keep an eye out for. Be thankful it wasn't the Koreans. You know, you've only gotten the skull back because everything else was, well, that and the nod bones. Yeah, dog eyeball soup. Yeah. We did not waste anything. Don't worry. Your dog went to a good family, two or three. Especially a big dog that size. Four pounds that day. Yeah. We feed lots of people. Big barbecue. Everyone had a great time. Well, one of the interesting things following up on what we were talking about with the especially with most of these people, the raving liberals especially are pro-bummer. Bummer can do no wrong. My problem is I have a big problem with Wirge Bush. We know what kind of wrong he did. Clinton before him, we know what kind of wrong him. Oh, bummer is no different. These creatures are all from the same sesible. Interestingly enough, something I want to get to is how I'm thinking about it. You know, if you ever notice whenever they attack any of these people in all these countries, they always have to mention, well, his brothers in government, or his brothers in the regime, or, you know, the sons or whatever. Well... Are they trying to demonstrate nepotism or something? Is that what they're trying to do? Or this is part of this whole regime thing? They keep bringing up the Assad family that rules Syria. Right. You mean like the Bush family and the Clinton family and the Rockefeller family here? Right. Oops, did I say that? And by the way, why is it we have Bushes popping up like they were some kind of stinking royalty? You know, not hired in, but scam voted in by Diebold or through under the table paperwork. time and again. What the hell is this BS? This is part-time, these are part-time employees and it's as if we keep finding that they're all related and they're all family line and like their royalty. Like the whole thing is a farce. In fact, you know not only that but if you're just married to royalty, which is the distaff relative thing Probably the best example is Hillary the Hutt. Well, we needed Hillary the Hutt as president because Bill Clinton was president and she was married to Bill Clinton So that qualifies her to be president Well, yeah, wait a minute. Oh well at least with you know, uh Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, she's well She answered some of those emails about people protesting what happened to that dog. Yeah, exactly. I mean, it's one of those, one of the things is that we've got the same kind of royal nonsense, royalty nonsense going on right now in this country, and that's where the thing needs to be cut. I mean, it really does. The only thing that, well, what they do with the scam with the shyster demikas is they always pick some fool who nobody's ever heard of. He never did anything, and that's the meat puppet for the moment. And then the royalty line, and still royalty line nonsense, I mean come on, Kennedy, Schreiber, Schmitzenberg, Blatstein, blah blah blah. It's a Kennedy Shriver! Or is it a Shriver Kennedy? Oh, I have to keep and check the schedule, the inbreed a lot, you know, sir. Which is true guys. I mean it's one of the things if you take a look at the hyphenated names, okay? But a unit could be a sport to make your born here. Yeah, exactly. Eventually, in theory, application may be another thing. I just wanted to get that before I forgot because there's something where you'll notice in the propaganda, you know, the little sods and the little sods, man, it's like, well, I mean, how did we end up with Bush and, you know, and Baby Bush and now they're flapping their app about Jeb Bush. So please tell me the difference. Well, we had to go through the fallacy of the dipole machine before we could cut the scam. And then it's still a toss of the dice between one distaff family member or the other. You know read that the what was the other thing they were doing here this PS for all these guys are related because we can go back 20 30 generations Yeah, and some string toenail relative that is not in the core tree of you know family tree by some six You know six side generation not just latin not in line, but remember guys is also there's this this this sweet that goes left and right which is nothing to do with true genetic connection. You know it's well there because Fred's was a brother of so-and-so that makes him a relative of... no it doesn't. Well he was a cousin's brother's son and uncle-in-law. What does it make him? Absolutely nothing. Think about it. That's the other extreme where of course they're always trying to toenail themselves onto. That's the problem when you're still worshipping royalty. It's a big problem we have even in this country to this day right now. A couple of things here real quick before I forget. Our friends in the chat room mentioned this Friday, here it is Monday, I don't know if there are any left, but guys there were a handful of SKS carbines down that are less than favorable because of blems of some kind that are available through classic arms for about $219 a piece. Now, I know a lot of you say, Mark, I bought my SKS for $56. Yes, I know that, and that was decades ago. What the kicker is, is that these have broken, they're not broken stocks, but crack stocks, and they don't look pretty. Now, they're an SKS, guys. It's a dog house, a brick dog house. It doesn't have to look pretty. Does it work? Yes. Now, stocks, if all else fails, what you do is you buy one of these for $219 as opposed to $319, which is what they're going for. So these guns are $100 less, which is a big plus right off the back. Now, you've got to call classic arms. They're not something that they just list as far as what they have and what the rifles are. You have to call to ask about these, okay? But there's apparently 10 or 12 of them that are rifles they wouldn't just send out. and apparently they don't have any spare parts for it down so whatever is wrong with them is wrong with them. SKS spare parts are available so just keep in mind that even spare stocks, hey, why not go to the Zitells inventory and buy a stock that way? That'll settle the problem real quick. And for about $49 you get another stock. So even if you had to pay for a stock you still end up with a rifle for about $60, you know, $40 to $60 less, which you can then spend on ammunition, of course. So, again, www.classicfirearms.com, www.classicfirearms.com. Then you go to, let's see, well, actually, then you go to their phone number and you call them is what you do. Sorry about that. I mentioned 545 by 39 ammunition and this for the AK-74. Don, remember when I first started arguing buying this it was about $60 a can. Remember that guys? $60 a can and it's not that long ago. Then it went to $80 which, $20 more. It was, you know, 1,080 rounds of, you know, 545 by 39, 53 grain ammo. Well it's back in stock with classic firearms. However, for more than what you paid for two cans as a case, it's now $219.99 if you buy one can, or $210 if you buy two cans, in other words, a whole case. So a whole case went from originally starting at $120 then to $160. Now it's up there with the rest, not quite up there with the rest. It's still cheaper than most. But it's about $220 for a whole case and you still have shipping. So remember I told you so, I told you so. Are all you guys listening to what I said about buying that ammunition happy now? Are you smiling? Hell, you're probably smiling under a year ago when, yeah, you could take one of those cans and sell it for the price of what you sold, you know, what you bought two or three cases for. Yeah, you all know what I'm talking about. So this is one of those I told you so's but they do have the ammunition in stock again. This is another batch that's come into the country. It's manufactured, it's Russian. It's the 53 grain, same cans, 1,080 rounds per 10. It's just not as cheap as it was and there's nobody that has it that cheap anymore. So this is the best price for the, you know, for the bucks. It's the best, it's the best 545x39 ammo out there. and still cheaper than most of the rounds that are available. She is cheap as, or about the same price as 223. So it definitely is worth picking up if you have an AK-74 if you're continuing to stack up ammunition, which I would. If you can only afford to get one can at a time, hey, that's what you got to do. If you can do one a month, just keep putting it away. We're going to need it. And it's obvious by what we've been talking about here. Sooner rather than later, already other people have had to defend themselves, some successfully, some not thinking about it, have become victims. A lot of other people are already preparing to make sure that they're not a victim when the time comes. By whichever pressure, pressure from below with the street gangs, pressure from above with the secret police. Either way, we're going to make sure we're not squeezed in between. To do that, organize arm equipment, train as militia, do a better job of putting more material in your hands. Logistics, the key to victory. Remember that. Anyway, Don, go ahead. Anything else jump in there, please? Well, we kind of addressed this earlier in the day. The, uh, thought line underneath it is, uh, fearless leader says, That could have been me. And that is as much, that is not a band-aid. That is not a way to try to culmination. That is not a way to show a path to a better place. How can we deal with this? That is a way to, for lack of a better phrase, to throw gasoline on that fire. To enrage people. Why? My president said that could have been me. See how that works? And, you know, we've spent a whole lot of time on this, but again, it's not like we can ignore it. If we could ignore this, if this were a small fire that we could just, you know, put your big toe on and turn ever so slightly and it would go out, somebody else would have done that by now. We would not even have had to address it. But with that in mind, we can... Let's shift gears here, because again, I don't want... Most of the we don't need to dwell on this forever. Again, as you point out Mark, you need to look around. You need to pay attention to your surroundings. You need to be aware of threats that are immediate and threats that are pending. Like things, do I really want to walk down that way? Do I really want to go there right now? Pending threats, so to speak. Do I want to create that? Now you're saying, well, Don, you're wanting me to change my life. No one wants you to stay alive. Okay, that's the bottom line because well, this goes over to the same thought line you guys. You don't want to be in jail right now. If you're in jail, you're not a soldier against the New World Order, are you? You might be doing everything you can trying to convince people in jail or in prison. Tell them about the New World Order. Tell them about the Bilderbergers, the Rockefeller's, the Trilateral Commission, and on and on and so forth and skull and bones and all of the... You know, we could just go down the list. But you're talking to a one, oh, oh, I gotta do this. You're talking to a captive audience. You're talking to people who would, in many ways and times, not wish to sit there and listen to you. They'd rather be out doing things that, well, got them to prison in the first place. It's a basic truism. You don't want to be in prison because, well, If things get bad, they'll just turn on the anti-fire system in the prisons and you'll draw one more breath and that'll be about it. And then they won't have a concern for you because you'll be room temperature in a few hours. I think the French call it ambiance. You know, the ambient temperature. You'll be room temperature in a few hours. They might be able to measure your liver a little bit warmer because of all the insulation around it, but in a day you'll be room temperature if they have their way and you're in prison. And things swell or kick up because they don't want to have to deal with you. So again, you know, there are a number of different ways to look at this. We can take the effort to put out dinky little fires and basically waste our time. Or we can stand as far apart from that as we can until we are needed at the big fire. And I'm not, there's not a whole lot of metaphor in there, is there guys? I mean, I'm not missing, this isn't very veiled. Think about it. My best thought line right now to try to convey to you is try to stay out of trouble. Trouble is all around us, much like living in the city. We've talked about living in the city. If you want to stand on the corner in the city, most any kind of trouble you want will come to you. You don't even have to look for it. It will come to you. Hey, man, you looking for anything? Hey, man, I think the phrase is even these days, are you straight? And if not, well, then here comes this or that or the other thing to get you into trouble. So, with that in mind, we've talked about exiting the cities, we've talked about that, that's not the major point of the thought line being presented in the immediacy of this moment. But again, if in this political arena right now, it seems like if you're going to be a Martin Fellow, or rather if you're going to be a Zimmerman, they will prosecute you to the best of their ability, so that you don't slip through their fingers and become a Zimmerman, a walking, talking, free man, someone who, well, we're not going to prosecute you for this. Because, well, the jury said, you're innocent. And again, we did say we're not going to dwell on this, didn't we? But it's something that, it's like a completely unrelated field. Did I ever tell you, I have friends who are black belts, I have a small number of friends who are black belts who have never been in a fight in their whole life. But there are black belts, sometimes second and third degree. Never been in a fight in their whole life, other than the simulated, that's basically what you can say, simulated, within confines and rules and regulations, fights on the dojo or dochane floor. Japanese or Korean respectively. A black belt, never been in a fight in their whole life. Now, this goes over to, to a certain extent, it's what I'm trying to, what we're trying to purvey, this thought right now. You can, if you choose to, stand on that corner so to speak or go here or go there and get in a whole lot of trouble and it wouldn't take much effort to find right now. But again, if you can, you know if you want to catch a poisonous snake, one of the best things to do is have a long stick and you hold, you press its head just behind the head, you press its head to the ground and then you can reach over there and with your fingers you can substitute your fingers for that stick. And you have the snake in such a way that he can't turn his head and bite you. It matters not what he does with his body. He's not going to sting you or deliver any poison with his tail. He's not a scorpion. And you wonder why he's going in this direction. But again, this goes over to very specific control. This goes over to recognizing threat. This goes over to getting past the threat, controlling the threat, getting past the threat so that you are able to deal with the next one. Again, there's not much metaphor there. There's not much hidden there. It's almost exactly direct. We've referred to a number of villains, psychopaths, brigands, and snakes over the years. That's a common. He's a snake, or she's a snake, or whatever. You've heard that, at least once in your life, referred to about someone. But if you have to treat them like a snake, it is best to, at the very least, keep them at arm's length. It is even better to, as mentioned moments ago, control them without having to touch them. You have complete and utter control before you even touch them. So, you know, again, it's best right now avoid the dinky little fires so that in the not too distant future you can address the very large fires. That's the thought line being presented right now. For lack of a better phrase, try to stay out of trouble. Sometimes that's hard to do. Sometimes trouble will come to you and you cannot walk away from it. In that instance, I would encourage you to deal with it as ruthlessly and as quickly as possible. Because, well, it goes over to they would deal with you very ruthlessly. They would deal with you as quickly as possible, as I example earlier in the day. One is in front of you trying to keep you busy while another walks up behind you and crushes your skull. and that fight is over and you were never really in it were you? So with that in mind I reinforce that thought line that we have presented many many times on this hour. Keep looking around. Even if there is a single threat directly to your front there is another reason to present quarters to your opponent. You know one shoulder or the other because if I step back with one foot I can turn my head and address my opponent, but I can also turn my head to my other shoulder for an instant, and I've covered half of my field of view. If I step back with the opposite foot, now I'm creating more distance from my opponent, from the immediate threat, but now I'm facing the other way. See how I've turned 180 degrees, pervade? You know, I've taken a look at all of the surroundings while I'm still able to address the immediate threat in front of me. It is best, even on a one-to-one line, stand in one place. We have addressed the what happens to an army with no legs thought line so many times that it should be second nature to a whole bunch of you. If you've been listening for a while, you do know that when you're threatened, you don't really want to stand in one place. Even if it's just a one-on-one threat, you don't want to stand in one place. You do not wish to be an easy target, do you? This goes back to the uncertainty thing, and this is uncertainty along before the one guy figured out that, well, I can figure out how fast something is going, or I can figure out where something is, but I can't figure out where something is and how fast it is going. Or, if I look at it, am I altering its condition simply by looking at it and not getting a true representation? Now, you can take that thought line just a little bit, slide it sideways. If a threat is looking at me, If I look at it, what was just example, think about it and mix those two thoughts together. You don't want to bend in one place because you become a simple target, something that's not too hard to strike. If you take that half turn, that can be moving the foot closest to your opponent to the opposite side, moving it back and turning your body that 180 degrees. Now you haven't stepped completely back, but you've created that little gap. You've increased that gap and given yourself X amount, although how short it is depends on how far you move back, how far there's a whole bunch of mix in there, how fast is your opponent, how fast can you react, but you've given yourself just a little buffer in the reaction time zone. And that's always good because if he starts to move on you again, move toward you, you can recognize the threat. As Bruce Lee even said, as the threat moves in, I'm able to deal with it. As it comes into my range, I'm able to deal with it. Bear that in mind. Mark, I could go on with just seemingly... Well, the one thing I will remind everybody, let's say that you aren't by yourself. This is something that bothers me about some of the stories like the Wisconsin Fair incident. There were several bleed offs of that were, you know, family and, you know, like a husband and wife with three children were set upon. Number one is they shouldn't have been caught on where to begin with. The basic rule is fall back or at least fall in. Again, put something behind you or put an obstacle between you and them. This is something I was talking about, remember, in the two hour block. Get into a corridor situation where you limit the enemy's potential to be able to engage. If they try to go over the obstacle, you bust them up. You break them up. You stab them. You do whatever you got to do. You break things. Any small thing you can get old of, break it, bend it back. Poke an eye out. Do whatever needs to be done. The more damage you do, the more pieces you take out of the game because the aggressor doesn't mean the aggressor isn't going to try and get over that obstacle. But if it's a preferably high ground with an obstacle, numbers think up and think again narrowing the fight. A stairway is good for that. Especially stoops on houses, on porches. That's something most people don't think about. But the other thing is, as you pointed out, when you have an objective that you see in front of you, and it's an obvious aggressor or it is a suspected aggressor, immediately all points of the compass, north, south, east, west. In fact, the most important thing is it should be a policy. You can say points, you can use the word compass, whatever it is. This is how we train people in patrolling guys, and why this doesn't apply when you're in any situation, it's a question mark for me. We've talked about when you're in patrolling and you're doing traveling, and you're in a traveling, not Overwatch, just traveling mode. No matter how you move, you move 10 yards apart in staggered column, typically as you're familiar, 10 yards apart. So the next person in line with you is 20 yards away from you, the next one who could possibly be in line with you. However, when we move, and this is something some people claim, well, we're not that smart, we can't do this, oh, nonsense, we trained everybody to do this in the past. If you're in the front, your rifle is stationed barrel to the left in natural low prone or high prone position, high port position, forgive me, not prone, high port position ready for use. Automatically without anybody giving any order because it is SOP, in other words, your brain should be in gear. The next weapon should be to the right. The third weapon will be to the left. The next weapon will be to the right, etc., etc., etc. At this moment I could be the number five man, the next moment I could be the number two man. Wherever I am, odd or even, I will position my weapon based upon my SOP to provide fire for that area of activity, to my left or to the right accordingly. The same is true if you're moving and you obviously see something that is a It has a level of arrogance or has a level of aggression and it's obvious but it's out of place by itself. Well that means that there's more of the pack is around. So points of the compass, points or compass, whichever you want to use, means the person who is automatically to the right should be looking to the right. The person to the rear should automatically be turning or again out of the group the center rear person or the center left person should be looking to the back of the actino activity area. The person farthest to the left if it's a group of people. Those people should be worrying about the left quadrant. Now in this way you're not going to be set upon in an oblique easily. And it's sad, but the fact of the matter is that throughout history, most people have had brains enough. The ones who survive travel in this mode. They travel thinking. They don't travel with their head up their fundamental orifice. Okay? I was thinking about this the other day. What about Romeo and Juliet? Remember Romeo and Juliet? Right, guys? Oh, yeah. Now, with Romeo... Hot, accusing, calculus? That's right. Now, what's interesting is they weren't the only families in town. And back in that era, they all built towers. What did they build the towers for? Home defense. To watch each other, yeah! They were staring at the real estate. There were sentries in post. When they moved, they didn't move as one person bebopping through town. They always worked in groups. Why? Well, because one group might be, one person might be set upon by another group and it was the age of the sword, kids. Well, there's nothing that's changed. Let's know what we've been talking about today. Think about it. Nothing has changed. I got into this debate back and forth and I kept laughing. It's like there's nothing that's changed about people and there's nothing that's significantly changed. Everybody always wants to do what's the end of the world. This is an example of revelation. That's always the excuse, the ejection seat. No, this is just life as it's gone on for as long as civilization has been in place and there are people who think your time, your life, your property should be theirs. and different elements, different factions, but you know again the whole idea, the Venice, the whole idea of Venice, which of course was a Jewish Mafia piracy stronghold for the longest time, and I mean that was the fact. That's why everybody needs to call it Venice. Well what was Venice? It was an isolated city, especially during the great conflicts. and was relatively safe and unscathed, but it was also a place that they sortayed out from. Venice wasn't neutral. Venice had its agenda, just like a lot of the other city states had their agenda. So they weren't they weren't warm and fuzzy and spec. No, they've got they've played the game out with propaganda But if you take a look at who it is and how it's promoted then ask yourself some of the background historical questions On a sub note on that talking about about history with regard to defense like this Remember that everything is a weapon but my god I you know anything and everything you can carry should be you know looked at as how sturdy is this in this day and age? I've got hanging on my belt right now a carabiner. It's a steel carabiner I told you about guys that you all need to buy from main military. They still got it, but now they're more expensive than they were. When I told you to grab them before, there was a glut of them. People started buying more of them. Gee, now they've decided to, you know, slide the price up. It happens, okay? Well, these steel ones make really nice knuckle dusters. That's not what they were made for, but if you take the pivot part, put it inside the palm, and you take that outer part and cover that knuckle area, whatever you hit, that steel is not going to give. Okay? But you can't be busted for it. It is a carabiner. Everybody's carrying carabiners. The difference is yours are steel. See what I mean? The other thing, pens. Now there's a number of different ways you can go with pens, but if you can get hold of something that is a decent steel barrel, even if it's a China Sport copy, that's more thrust potential. Little mag, mini mag flashlights. I know the big thing are all these other metal ones, but you need to have a carrier so you can keep them with you and they're quickly accessible. Mini mag made a number of different scabbards for their flashlights. copy them if you don't have one for yours. And most of the places do make nylon copies. But there's leather and nylon available. It's a flashlight, right? But that sharp, picky thing on the end where they like doing the little spiky things nowadays gives you, again, thrust energy focus. All of this is designed to hurt badly. Because the more damage, especially the more bleeding you can create on an enemy, they don't know how badly they're hurt. And you're dealing with cowards. These people are not brave. Their logic is that you've come there to be their victim. They're febbing of us, we're going to get him. Exactly. That is a cowards mentality. Or get them. It's you and the family and whatever, or family and a few friends. And the idea is that, well, you know, that's white bread America, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Well, you need to be thinking in terms of slaughtering them. If you are attacked, you think of slaughtering them. And that means cutting, shredding, even a box cutter. The only thing about a box cutter fight is, guys, I'm going to warn you right now, you need to go, you don't strike like you would where you think you're going to thrust. You're drawing. You hack. But you do it quickly and you do as many slices as possible. And that's where you need to think about, for instance, there are these folding box cutters that are real popular right now, very well made. They're made as well as any folder knife. The neat thing is nobody can say anything about them except the TSA if they want to try and disarm you so you can be a victim at the airport. Otherwise, again, nothing can be said about them, but you have to think in terms of rapid slash. That's the only thing that you not once you cut as many times as quickly as you can pump up the adrenaline and Think about sweeping and pulling through the target as many ways as you can if you have not seen an injury like that I'll tell you what there's a guy that posted he goes well when you say they only have a knife and he's showing all these you know individuals cut with knives Understand that this is something where you can visualize it now. It's not for the squeamish But again, they grab you and start wrapping their body around you. You take that blade and rake it over their back. Remember that you want to cross muscles. You don't want to go with muscles if you can help it. Why do you want to go across muscles? Because you incapacitate your opponent. That's right. That muscle is literally hamstrung. It's just like hamstringing. If I were on the ground, that's one of the places I'd go is the lower end of the leg. Now, there's shoes normally protected, but most people were in tennis shoes. I would rip that blade right across the Achilles tendon, right off the bat. If I can grab anything else, step one, Achilles tendon. Why? Even in an attempt to try and move, if there's anything still connected, the pain is massive. There is totally incapacitated that leg. You've now drastically reduced the potential or the survivability of that casualty because if it's life or death, you're going to finish them off. They plan on finishing you off. You'll probably end up doing the same thing because they'll keep it up. If they haven't broken after the first couple of injuries, they were planning on murdering you to begin with. They're showing you their intention most certainly. Yeah. So again, that's why if they've decided to press an attack after it's obvious you're not asleep, you better be in the understanding you're fighting for your life. That one guy that just got beat up in New York, I think everybody's writing up about it and there's probably a thing in the chat room again. The one guy that got beat up where he smacked him in the skull, he died today, I believe. So, you know, I wouldn't mean to kill him, I just wanted to beat him up and beat him and knock him down on the ground. You mean you only wanted to beat somebody you didn't know and had no business attacking in the first place and you murdered him. See, that's not what we're talking about. We're talking about defending ourselves. We're not going out to pick a fight, but you're not going to show your back so you can feel that sharp pain and look like one of those stupid casualties in the Hollywood movies. Oh, how did that happen? Instead, remember, the men are going to have to man up, but the women and the children, here's the other problem with this, and this is tough, be ready to finish them off. If we drop them, we're going to move past that one. You finish them off. That means kick them with your heels, beat down on their face. Think about the way they think. Temple, jaw, crush any small limb that you, you know, the lower part of the limb or the extension of the arm that you can. Remember, even if you can't, you know, terminate them, you can make it so impossible for them to operate that they're useless in the battle. And that means rolling carpet. When the first one's down, you make sure as long as it's down bad enough it can't do any more, that your secondary troops follow up. You fight the same way in a combat situation. When you're in a breakout, your primary heavy weapons and material are forward. Anybody behind your first echelon finishes off or destroys the threat, if there's any threat left in them. But the heaviest and biggest goes forward and then it's followed up. Casualties and wounded will even participate in the attack or slash in the breakout, which is actually an offensive defensive action. You're trying to save your life. And the wounded or anybody who is walking wounded continue to fight but they finish off the aggressors resources, whatever they've got left is still in them. That's just how it works. The same is true if you're on the ground. You've got to think life and death. Probably the best example is that couple who thought oh, they're only carjacking the car They were in the vehicle they were taken they were tortured raped they were butchered and then they were stuffed either again he was set on fire and thrown out of a vehicle after he was already dead and The girl they chopped her up in the seven pieces and put her in garbage bags and then enjoyed playing Nintendo in the house while they had her body and garbage cans out behind the house That's all you need. Yes. Go ahead. I'm sorry. Yeah. Yeah So as long as you understand that you'll be doing fine. And I think that that again is you have to have the attitude. Anything and everything you've got. Steel combs. I mean you can still carry steel combs and a rat tail steel comb is vicious. That can be made to be very effective provided you understand that if you do one you can't sharpen the teeth. If you sharpen the teeth, then there are techniques for using that as a cross blade. But typically rat tail combs, what you do is use those as a spike, you know, slash a pike. But then you want to flatten out and smooth the edges of the comb because that's going to be the handle. When you're using it as a thrust weapon keep that in mind the other thing is also remember for you Don't aren't as big or older or you don't have as much energy Remember to use a twin to a two-handed thrust technique you grip the weapon with the left hand you push with the right hand thrusting keep the hand level and Shove the ID behind this is if you get it get the word the device into something It's like hammering. It's like hammering a nail. That's how you need to be thinking If you've got it in, though, especially if you can't get it out, drive it deeper. Because that's another problem. Remember, weapons get stuck. That's why you need more than one. Blades get stuck in things. Go ahead, color. I'm sorry. Just made by Nighteyes, which goes on the belt and will hold a mini Maglite and my Leatherman. There we go. Yeah, I've got one. Go ahead. Well, the pockets on it too, including a hidden pocket on the back. They're very, very handy. Oh, that's a new one. Go ahead. What's the name of the brand? Night Eyes. Very good. Makes it. They call it a Pockets. It's got a flap that covers the mini mag and the leather pan. It also makes one of those glass fiber things that can go over the the output of your mini mag is where you can use it for pinpoint light. One of those fiber optic deals. Right. Question, is that W... Do you know if they have a website like www.nighdays.com or anything like that? I think it's www.nite. Sorry, I've got a call. EYZ. I'm not certain I'm right, but I think that's it. We'll find out. I'm going to post that in the chat room and see if it shows up. The reason I bring that up, it doesn't show up that way. It's N-I-T-E-E-Y-Z dot com, but it could be dot net, could be whatever. If the guys can do a quick spot in the chat room for us, they can post it. The reason I bring that up is because for the longest time, a couple different companies did the leather double pockets. Like you said, it was a single pocket for the Leatherman and a holder for the MiniMag, the small double A MiniMag light, which I have a couple of. The little storage pocket on the back would be kind of handy. I would put a scratch, one of those little multi-scratch it tools. They make one that has like a little wrench, it's got a blade, it's a can opener. The credit card tool is what they call it. That would be another handy thing to carry only because it does serve other purposes, you know beyond that for general preparedness Every tool that you can carry like that. That's a multi tool is is your friend The other thing is walking sticks, you know, we haven't really talked about this in a while, but guys I the Shalili lad be right now out of the truck stops, you know, there's some people beaters out there that are really nice and And that's the only way to describe them, but that's what they're for. However, they're walking sticks. Brass, shod. I know they're communist Chinese or Indian made. Might even be made in Vietnam. But they're using a good hard wood, either ash or oak. They are brass shod or steel shod for the base and they are brass or steel shod for the head, for the knob. Now these are sometimes a little oversized. One thing you got to watch out, if you can't yield it, forgive me, yield it. If you can't wield it, move it fast, it may not serve you. So you have to be cautious there. It has to be a combination. You know, test the tool out. Does it work for you? Most important is that everybody can be carrying a walking stick. And it's not a big deal, but you don't have to get fancy with hidden swords. I know people got all those. There's all kinds of neat, ultimate or alternate tools that people have come up with. They call them the Ultimate. Oh, this is the Ultimate in sword cane. There's sword guns. Forgive me, there's cane guns. For the longest time, one company in Chaka News was offering 20-gauge muzzle loading cap and ball canes. And they were actually pretty reasonably priced. I assume they were made out of India. And again, I saw a few of them back in the early 80s. They were offering up until the 90s. I don't know if they're still out there. But the idea behind it is a one shot slash here. Say hello to my little friend, boom. You know, that kind of thing. Now, depending on where you are in the area, that might be a problem. But again, it's the old story of what's your life worth. But they could be built today without any problem. It wouldn't be a big deal. black powder you don't have an issue if you make it a cartridge gun remember they're going to do everything they can to twist it any way they can unless it's a certain length and you know certain configuration so something to consider there again it's a matter of do you want to what level you're going to bring up your defenses and what do you want to take a risk with I can't tell you what to do but Historically, we know if you're in any metropolitan area, they'll make it sound like you had a belt-fed machine gun by the time you're done. Which, in some ways, probably would be a good thing. Someday they'll run into somebody that will do just that. And they probably won't be able to tell anybody about it. Yeah, he's like, oh my God, none of the black thug gang came in, but none of them got away. all those poor children they had chains and knives and they were ready to beat and murder every woman and child there but they just didn't get the chance those poor kids yeah whatever so just something to take a go ahead well I just want to make sure we can cut out I know we're almost at the top guys down I don't want you to rush here night vision technology you have available how can we get hold of you in about the next five minutes sir hey the numbers two three one seven nine six 8458 again 231-796-8458 we can talk about gochs, we can talk about gun sites, we can talk about green screen or thermal again 231-796-8458 first generation gun site 308 capable, two year warranty on it, manufacturer says it will hold up to that 308 that FN FAL recoil, the recoil of your AR-10 They're so confident they weren't here for two years. You can reach me if you want to talk about that or other devices. My number is 231-968458. We're just moments away from the top. Thank you, Mark. By the way, real quick, the books, I went through the books that I picked up this weekend, guys, as is typically the case. Somebody was throwing stuff out. One of them is a medical, it's a medical guide for physicians, 1850. Leather-bound, original print, pre-Civil War. A couple of the other medical texts that I picked up were post-Civil War, 1869. and this is a doctor's collection of some kind. A couple of the books that I sent with one of our friends to check on the value of because they're rather unique. It looks to me to be like with that doctor's, this doctor's field manual. This would be something you'd find any doctor, no matter where they were across the country, but especially if they were west of the Mississippi, Don. For 1850, this is colored, they're colored prints are not photographs guys eighteen fifty and that would be the case for the most part there were a few images but they were done as separate plates uh... these are this is a it but and it has all the uh... anatomical referencing uh... text information the very beginning in illustrations and uh... you have to work on the language for some people are familiar with older american slash you know again more rooted more towards the english dialect as in England, you know, the British Isles, dialect of the British Isles. The other books, all priceless, anywhere from 1870 to 1900. The odd men out, the two books I sent were basically to look to me to be ministers' text for formatting, you know, the only words, equips, prose, stories, etc., post-Civil War. two volumes and it was designed again for setting up your Sunday sermons although they're bound very very nice text in very good condition they're very good almost excellent in some cases with some of these books somebody's collection and somebody said ah they're just old books I'll find it on the internet no not these you won't So again pay attention to the environment guys these things are priceless Also, yeah, I didn't end up with a fortune in body armor and helmets today for free So that's another fun thing so what throwing stuff out again guys always pay attention. You never know what you're gonna run into and Again there well hey they got more money brains. We got brains out and pick it up For everybody out there God bless the Republic. Yeah world order We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen, the Empire is on the run. But we are on the march, folks. They am a- Oogah! Kick him in the slats, beat him, sounds so hard they just don't get back up. And when they try to, bust up the arms and legs, and then get on to the next one, trying to do harm to you. Defense, best way to deal with it, get them all, don't let him get away. Thank you, Don. Thank you, Mark. God bless you. God bless you, America. Good night! The end of strong
